Abstract Reducing customer response time, lowering overall logistic costs, and raising service standards are all partly attributable to innovative methods for increasing order-picking efficiency. This paper focuses on the storage allocation issue determine optimal stock-keeping-unit (SKU) inventory level assignment problem place SKUs in most efficient locations. In this research, we describe a ...

We introduce an algorithm for maximizing utility through congestion control and random allocation of routes to users. The allocation is defined by a probability distribution whose degree of randomness as measured by its entropy, is controlled. We seek to use the entropy to modulate between the two extremes of path specification; minimum cost path selection on one end and equiprobable path alloc...

rapid urban growth is resulting into increase in travel demand and private vehicle ownership in urban areas. in the present scenario the existing infrastructure has failed to match the demand that leads to traffic congestion, vehicular pollution and accidents. with traffic congestion augmentation on the road, delay of commuters has increased and reliability of road network has decreased. four s...

To schedule aircraft, assignments of fleet types to flights and aircraft routes must be determined. The former is known as the assignment problem while latter routing in literature. Aircraft usually addressed a feasibility whose solution needed for constructing crew schedules. These problems are solved from 4 6 months before day operations. Therefore, there limited information regarding each ai...

BACKGROUND Dual-eligible (Medicare/Medicaid) beneficiaries are randomly assigned to a benchmark plan, which provides prescription drug coverage under the Part D benefit without consideration of their prescription drug profile. To date, the potential for beneficiary assignment to a plan with poor formulary coverage has been minimally studied and the resultant financial impact to beneficiaries un...
